   • Simple
     • Greater curvature
       • L+R Gastro-epiploic
     • Lesser curvature
       • L+R gastric
   • Ruminant
     • Rumino-reticulum / Greater curvature of abomasum
       • L+R gastro-epiploic
     • Omasum / Lesser curvature of abomasum
       • L+R gastric

2. Caecum

   • Dogs/Ruminants
     • (Small caecum)
